Racing to the Devil

 Through the whole dream it was night time out, and it felt a bit like "The Lost Highway".  I was somewhere where the land was very flat, and it had the feel of being near a beach.  The area was sparsely populated with things like a few service stations or dilapidated strip malls.

I was in a black car that felt something like an older muscle car.  It was very clean and shiny with chrome accents.  I wound up driving to some predetermined meeting point very slowly.  I'm not entirely sure who or what I was supposed to be meeting there, but the meeting was brief and I was soon back at my original starting point.  There were some other things that went on that I don't remember, but it eventually wound up being time to make a second trip.  On this second trip, I was basically going off to be some sort of hero and face off against the Devil.

I was in the car again, and I was at an intersection and made a right hand turn.  Even though I don't know what my plan was, I had a gut feeling that I knew exactly what I was doing.

While taking off, I noticed that the car had a manual transmission.  I thew it into first gear and jumped on the gas.  The car took off lightning fast, and despite only being in first gear, my speed increased quickly.  As I ratcheted my way up through the gears, I took off faster and faster, eventually speeding off at over 600 miles per hour towards my encounter with the Devil.

I don't know how the encounter turned out, but some time later the dream changed over, and I was actually writing down the details of the dream within a new dream.  Suddenly, and for seemingly no reason, I was scared awake, and for a brief moment, I thought I saw someone standing next to the bed.
